Restaurant Booking
Introduction
This restaurant table booking service (the “Service”) is operated by Livebookings Holdings Limited (“Livebookings”) in conjunction with The Number UK Limited (“The Number”). Where appropriate Livebookings and The Number shall be referred to jointly as “we”, “us” or “our”. Livebookings is registered in England and Wales under company number 5398578 and our registered address is at 6th Floor Elizabeth House 39 York Road London SE1 7NQ. Our VAT Number is 882 5959 65. The Number is registered in England and Wales under company number 4352737 and our registered address is Malthouse Avenue, Cardiff Gate Business Park, Cardiff Gate, CF23 8RA.
These are the terms and conditions which will govern your use of the Service, which is provided to you by Livebookings and The Number on behalf of restaurants in the Livebookings Network, either via the website of the restaurant with whom you are booking a table (a “Restaurant”) or via the website of one of our third party booking partners (a “Booking Partner”).
By using the Service you are deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions of use (the “User Terms”)
Your Booking
Please note that the dining services for which you book via your use of the Service are provided to you by the Restaurant directly and not by Livebookings or The Number. Therefore by using the Service to book a table at your chosen Restaurant you are entering into a direct contract with that Restaurant and neither Livebookings nor The Number is a party to that contract.
In order to make any booking using our Service you must have the legal capacity to do so and you must accept financial responsibility for all transactions made under your name. You must make sure that all the information you provide to us is true and accurate. Booking a table at the Restaurant means you have to pay the Restaurant after you have eaten unless it is clearly indicated before you book that you have to prepay in advance.
When you use the Service to place a booking at the Restaurant you are making an offer to the Restaurant to accept your booking. Your booking is not complete and legally binding on the Restaurant until such time as you have received a confirmatory email from the Restaurant accepting your booking.
If you wish to cancel your booking you can use the hypertext link in the confirmation email or contact the Restaurant directly. Contact details can be found in the confirmation email. Please ensure that you arrive in plenty of time and bring a copy of your email booking confirmation. If you have prepaid in advance please also bring the credit/debit card you used to make the booking.
Failure to attend the Restaurant at the reserved time may result in you being charged a "no-show" fee by the Restaurant. The decision whether to debit your card with a cancellation fee or "no-show" fee is entirely at the discretion of the Restaurant.
We reserve the right to cancel a booking, but this of course will be without any liability to you. We have, at any time for any reason without prior notification to you, the right to terminate or restrict, suspend or terminate your access to any or all of the Service if we believe that you are misusing the Service or if you are in breach of these User Terms.
Because your contract is directly with the Restaurant any queries or concerns that you may have in connection with your restaurant table booking should be addressed directly to the Restaurant via the details set out in the confirmatory email.
We reserve the right to disable your access to our Service and, where applicable, any user ID or password issued to you at any time if, in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Additional Terms
In addition to these User Terms, your use of a Restaurant or Booking Partner website and the other services and products provided by Restaurants and Booking Partners in the Livebookings Network, may also be subject to any additional terms and conditions applied by restaurants and/or Booking Partners from time to time.
